NEW: We have just equipped the cottage with central air conditioning.
This cottage is very spacious, in an enclosed and wooded plot of 2000m², with superb views of the surrounding mountains. I invite you to look at all the photos, so you will visit this 50m² gite and discover some surrounding landscapes.
The cottage consists of 2 rooms, a living room and an incorporated kitchen, then a very spacious bedroom with a suite, WC and Bathroom.

The space
Listing overview

The first room consists of a seating area and a built-in kitchen, equipped with an induction hob, oven, extractor hood, refrigerator, microwave and all the essentials.(And, tea towels are at your disposal)
For your convenience, the cottage also has centralized suction, TV, and Wi-Fi access.
Following your inspirations of "kitchen", we can lend you raclette, pierrade, waffles, crepe makers...
There are two coffee makers, a classic and a Senseo.
For grill lovers...., we have equipped the cottage with an electric plancha and an extension cord, ... because regularly the Hérault is classified in red vigilance for the use of the fire, and therefore wood-fired grilling is prohibited.... So you have the parade:-)

The bedroom is very spacious (24m²), with a 140 double bed, a 90 bed and storage furniture.
Bed linen and bath towels are not provided. However, if you wish, we can make them available for 15 Euros per bed.
The bathroom is equipped with a sink, walk-in shower, toilet, washing machine and hair dryer.
About the wood-burning stove, it is quite functional and wood can be provided.
Depending on your consumption, you can leave a tip, because the cottage is already heated via a heated floor, air conditioning or radiator, at no extra cost :-) ....

Just a quick note, which could be helpful to you.....
On site, we have 2 cottages, the one of which you are reading this description, "Le Mas d 'Hélène" that can accommodate 3 people, but also the cottage "La Clef des Champs" with a capacity for 4 people. Depending on your holiday desires, for families or friends, it could allow you to preserve your privacy, while staying in the same vacation spot.

You have at your disposal:
-a petanque court, ping pong table (during summer only, because installed on the lawn) 
-A outdoor terrace, with table and chairs to enjoy the scenery...
In our accommodation conditions, I insist that we do not accept pets, on the one hand, because our own pets do not enter the house and on the other hand, because on our property we already have 2 dogs (English setters, obviously, very nice), but incompatible with the presence of other dogs or cats ....

During your stays in our cottages, we saw how much the presence of our chickens and their chicks, ducks, pigeons, rabbits ... was appreciated by families and their children. Especially since you can access these animals without risk, but I bring this clarification because those who do not love animals will have to orient themselves to another accommodation:).

The village of Mons La Trivalle, is located at the foot of the Caroux-Espinouse and Somail mountains, at the confluence of the Jaur, Orb and Gorges d 'Héric rivers, so that you are ideally settled for very varied activities. To enhance your stay you can hike, canoeing, climbing, tree climbing, mountain biking, swimming, discovering small villages, going to fishing (rivers, but also lakes, Raviège and Saut de Vezoles 35 minutes by car), go picking mushrooms (very famous for picking ceps and girolles), ... and take care of yourself at the spa of Lamalou Les Bains ....

The photos presented on the site are all taken within a perimeter of less than 10 kilometers, so you can discover the Gorges d 'Héric (hiking or swimming), the Caroux and Espinouse massifs and superb stone villages in the middle of the vineyards (Roquebrun, Vieussan, ... and Olargues, classified village).

In the immediate vicinity of the cottage, you have a 60-kilometer bike path that crosses the municipality of Mons la Trivalle (Bédarieux / Mazamet) as well as a kanoë-Kayak base.
When you are staying in our cottage, we have published a short guide with all the useful addresses and opening periods:
- bakeries
- restaurants, snak, pizzeria ...
- doctor, pharmacy
- local markets
- remarkable tourist points, ...

We live in the high cantons of Hérault, a wild and unspoiled site, very popular with nature lovers. We are fortunate to live and work in this area, which is why we have set up a cottage to welcome hosts wishing to discover these beautiful landscapes. We appreciate the conviviality and be able to communicate with all the people who visit our cottage from all over France .... we want people to have a pleasant stay with us trying to advise them on hikes, good gastronomic addresses, ...that they feel as good here as at home, while preserving their privacy....
